This touching and hilarious Sundance hit follows the lives of four teenagers -- a jock, the popular girl, the artsy girl and the geek -- in one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school. We see the insecurities, the cliques, the jealousies, the first loves and heartbreaks, and the struggle to make profound decisions about the future.

Gonzo: The Life And Work Of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson   (Not Rated)   
Times: 3:50, 9:30
Alex Gibney, the Academy Award winning director of Taxi To The Dark Side takes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life: his intense and ill-fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny Depp. "...a nostalgic tribute to Thompson's subversive, hilarious voice, whose absence is particularly felt in an era when many in the mass media lack the spine to challenge political leaders." Joe Garofoli, San Francisco Chronicle. 120 min.

Tell No One   (Not Rated)
Times: 12:45, 6:45
Winner of the 2007 César Award for Best Director and Best Actor. Based on Harlan Coben's international best selling thriller about pediatrician Alexandre Beck, who still grieves for the murder of his beloved wife Margot, eight years earlier. When two bodies are found near the scene of the crime, the police open the case and Alex becomes a suspect again. The mystery deepens when Alex receives an anonymous e-mail with a link to a video clip that seems to suggest Margot is still alive, and a message to "tell no one." "...a deliciously contemporary thriller, Tell No One is Vertigo meets The Fugitive by way of The Big Sleep. That is meant as high praise. Beautifully written and acted...a labyrinth in which to get deliriously lost." - Stephen Holden, the New York Times. In French w/subtitles. 125 min.
